Weather was great in past days. We were flying fpv every day here. Sad my camera holder is too loose for dslr, so waiting untill my m8 gona make me a new one, than will be able to do high qualiti pics in the nearest future. Other m8 got his gopro camera. Looking forward to test it on my AP platform plane.
Now testing new video tx/rx 5.8ghz. Got instaled dragon OSD with RTH function. Works great. Now feel safe flying anyware :)
Here Is short video with my friend and few pics taken from my plane folowing his fpv plane :)

still not enough claar for me, can we use 1.3 ghz frequency?
« Reply #110 on: October 27, 2011, 20:08:56 PM »
hi, I'm using 2.4 ghz Cockpit sx and would like to use some legal video tx/rx for fpv. Lituas is using the 1.3 ghz, 850mw system, I was thinking about the same thing but I'm not sure can I use it or not :(  Had u any problems with that Lituas?
The range of fatshark 5.8ghz looks to be not good enough and prize is great as well :) How was the fatshark in your tests Lituas?
My target is get 1-2km max..

Will be good idea to buy EzOSD or better FY 21AP II with RTL and osd?[/i]

hi, i would recomend you 5.8ghz as its much better quality. Unfortunately legal is only 25mw, and you wont be able to fly with it.  I got from Hobby king 5.8ghz 600mw and connected to my fat shark. Using standard antennas i made up to 1km, but got some glitches. You can use circular polarised antenna ant patch antenna for it on dual receiver, than you gona make up to 2km.
I am flying over the year now, and had no problem with any frequency.

Check on hobbyking what frequency fat shark works. Best is with imersionrc 600mw from HK. U can fly with standard antenas up to 1km. With 6db antena you can make even more. Sircular polirised antenas are very good as well.

Sad to see that....what happened to you? it is nice video.
Looks like you lost control or something?

In that case you need dragonlink+Dragon osd. So you will have signal up to 10km, and in case something will go wrong, you have RTH button. Plane will come back it self.
Have made video, unfortunately its only in Lithuanian language.
Im talking about RTH function, when i swich it on, plane comes back, and turns around your head up in the air. You will see me puting the radio control and having only video camera in my hand. you can go strait to 00:58 to see my puting the RC and wach plain coming back.

my friend is flying over to new york for few days, I considering to get from there fatshark 5.8 with 600mw transmiter, dragon DOSD+ v2 and FY20-A.
But not shure will he get everything for me. What camera are u using for the fatshark? FatShark RCV922CAM PAL Sony 420TVL ? or something different? And how do u power all that in plane? I'm new here.. :lol:
the camera is I think 5V and can be used free tx port, or have you some 5V battery?

So my idea is flying with some powered glider or skywalker, with RTH, autopilot with 2 ailerons (DOSD+v2) and i think max 2km away or less.. I don't think about huge ground station :) Just go hiking in hills with glider and goggles :) and batteries off course!

im using this camera http://www.ebay.ie/itm/380298966727?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1413

All video set-up is connected from separate battery to avoid interference.
you can connect 5v camera, witch easier to do so.

For a great site to get cameras check: http://www.securitycamera2000.com/
Most of the items there have free shipping and there is tons of camera with all kinds of specs. I'd recommend something with WDR.
Most refer the ones with Pixim sensors but I've seen and have good results with Sony sensors.

Great thing is that their staff run a thread in RCG and you can post questions there or even any support request: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1396248

Pixim is very good camera. Friend got one of them, looks very good even in bad conditions.
